I had Mike as a guide, and he was excellent. He has studied History and maintains an interest that really adds life to the tour. He took us to places normally not included on tours, and also skipped Checkpoint Charlie as there was a much better location to tell the story of crossing from West to East. I highly recommend the tour, they were well organized and we didn’t waste a lot of time getting going, and we actually went longer than expected because of all the questions. They don’t mention in the ad that you will need an all day transit pass, as we took several trains and trams during the tour.

It was a bad day when we went on the tour because it was raining and it was windy and cold. The tour guide Taylor told us where to buy umbrellas and train tickets for the tour. He is Australian and spoke perfect English so it was great. But there was quite a lot of walking to do and I was a little disappointed that it did not include Checkpoint Charlie and the real Berlin wall in the tour. Also the place where we were to meet, Zoological Gardens station near McDonald's was quite hard to find, we had to ask for directions.
